A Shadow Upon The World

-A Shadow Upon The World-
by
Keaton Foster



Out there
Amongst darkness declared
Is an ever advancing shadow
No light brings it into view
The naked eye cannot see
Refusal of the idea of its existence
Makes everyone blind
No one else but me knows
Seeing with such clarity
In a cesspool of absolutes
Does that make me special
Or just abundantly crazy
Such an odd question of sanity
Concerns me least of all
Everything has its place
With such regard
I am not much different
Specialties flood my head
Aching from the overload
Being who I’ve become
Is what I want to be least of all
But here I am
A wolf in a world of lambs
A dogma with no plan
A sinner with his own crucifix
Nailed right to his chest
Driven into the depths
Coming our way
Dead on in a path set straight
Is an apocalyptic plight
That we all must face
Screaming of vengeance
Out there
Where no one really cares
In the darkness of forever
Is the culmination of nothing
Is an ever-expansive something
A shadow upon the world
That can never be removed
A stain upon everyone’s whole
Salvation will be a moot point
God cannot save us from ourselves
And a darkness undone
I know that what I’m saying
And what I’m conveying
Sounds completely mad
And quite terribly sad
I wish it was all not so
A shadow upon this world
Is coming and I
A man who sees with open eyes
Just wanted to let you know
Just wanted to warn you
Heed all that I am saying quite well
A shadow upon the world is falling…
